coupling register with head

coupling register with head

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear posse,

Is it possible to couple the \index register with \head instead of page  
numbers? I have a document that is exactly one single
\start-\stopitemize[n] with over 1000 \head entries. The \index'ed items  
occur for the most part in the second paragraph after \head. I would like  
the index to tell me which heading number my entry falls under.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thnx in advance and
Best
Idris

Fwd: coupling register with head

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear knights,

I sent this earlier, never got a response...

I'm sure I'm not the first to ask this question, seems like a pretty  
common register-task. But if it's impossible, please let me know that too!

Best
Idris

This is not trivial, because \head does not create a reference,
and register entries expect page numbers for sorting purposes.

But if you send me an example file (10 pages or so) offlist,
I will see if I can cook something up.
